Handle Bar Muffs

Any of you guys got bar muffs fitted. I've had the Tucano ones fitted on previous bikes and they work well but looking at the same for the Silverwimg they seem pricey. Any other brands worth considering. Also those leg warmer blankets are they worth it?

I use my wing for early morning / late evening commutes and even though in the UK we are still technically in Autumn, it does tend to get cold in the morning / evenings.

Having owned one scooter leg warmer cover on a Helix back in the Nineties, I found it a complete and utter waste of time. Apart from being able to be pulled up over the seat to keep it dry or frost free when the scooter is parked. It did nothing a decent pair of textile bike pants already does, with or without the cold weather lining.

The scooter apron is popular and France and other Euro countries because office types can commute on their scooters wearing pressed pants and shiny shoes with the apron keeping their lower half from getting wet, dirty, or cold.

Handlebar muffs, I have a set of Barkbusters I used for a while on the Silver Wing, after a bit of adjustment they didn't touch the Airflow with the handlebars on full lock.

Last time I looked they were back in their packaging in my garage. As I now use Forza specific Givi handlebar wind deflectors that are fixed to the bodywork.

I used Givi Universal muffs for ten years on my Silverwings and found they were right for me; I left them on all year round and wore summer gloves.

I tried them on my Forza 350 but in all honesty they don't work for me on it simply because there are so many buttons on the left-hand side. Even though I'm now familiar with which button does what, the amount of space is limited so pressing the wrong button by mistake is all too likely.

Muffs? Hmmm ... seems to be a UK term, not familiar with muffs here in Colorado.
For cold, possibly damp weather, I just use some decent, cold weather gloves with 40+ grams of Thinsulate. I had a pair that I used when I lived in Oregon that were made for hunting in bright orange. They kept me warm and dry and added to my visibility (I rode a Helix back then and anything to help SUV drivers notice you was a bonus!).

I used muffs on my cbf125 commuter. Along with heated gloves they would keep your hands warm on a polar expedition.

As winter draws near I've already swapped my open face for my peaked adventure helmet as the sun moves lower in the sky.

I'm coming up to my fourth winter on the Forza and I haven't missed having heated grips at all, or had the slightest inclination to fit handlebar mitts.

The Givi handlebar wind deflectors I fitted seem to the job nicely, I'll probably just wear a winter glove for normal rides, or the rain gloves I keep under the seat. They're pretty good on their on in cold weather and as I ordered a pair slightly larger I can wear thin fleece gloves underneath.

Although it's very rarely cold enough for them, I have a very good pair of Hein Gericke lobster claws that I can cover with a pair of HG neoprene over mitts. I'll have to try the lobster claws out on the Forza, just to see how they work with the aforementioned multiple switches.

Winter riding isn't what is was years ago and before I retired when I was working shifts or going to winter rallies and camping weekends.
Nowadays I'll get into my usual habit of suiting up and going out on the Forza on clear dry days, getting some miles so I can add fresh fuel on the way home. This routine stop both myself and the Forza stagnating.

Interested in your appraisal of the Givi wind deflectors; thank you.
I fitted deflectors on my first Silverwing and found them very satisfactory in conjuction with decent gloves.
I still think that wind-chill is the chief offender, something which is not addressed by the use of heated grips so I don't consider them these days.

Well I've bitten the bullet and got the Tucano muffs. Fitted them earlier on and will have my first ride With them at 6.00am tomorrow. Not such an easy snug fit as the ones on my a ST1100. Because the wing has thin bar end weights there is not much to clamp down on, particularly on the right hand side as you have to allow some clearance so the throttle doesn't jam
